To lock the blade of the folding pocket knife, the ring on the handle must be turned. Because this is as simple as it is functional, the system has its own name: Virobloc. Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel.
It is opened with the nail groove. Not a cut, but the thumb nail pulls the blade out of the handle by means of a groove. Not for nail biters. Then you have a really sharp, durable cutting tool that is indispensable for many occasions. Its shape is a classic that feels comfortable in both female and male hands. In addition to the beechwood version, scharferLaden.de also offers other types of wood as handle material.
INOX stamped into the blade means that the steel used is stainless.
OPINEL is the name of the blade shape, inspired by the oriental scimitar Yatagan. It was named after a Seljuk commander called Baba Yatagan.
